๐ Lyrics
From pools of xylophone clear
From caves of memory
I saw the children at heart
That we once used to be
Borne on foaming seahorse herd
Compose with trumpeting shell
From lines across their hands
A song as new as new moon
As old as all the sands
Shrank to stagnant from Atlantic wild
Lost that child 'til mermaid smiled
Summoned by drum-rolling surf
As laughing fish compel
The young boy woken in me
By clanging diving bell
Breakers pillow-fight the shore
She wriggles free in the tide
I'm locked in adult land
Back in the mirror, she slides
Waving with comb in hand
I was lucky to remain beguiled
Grown to child since mermaid smiled
From caves of memory
I saw the children at heart
That we once used to be
Borne on foaming seahorse herd
Compose with trumpeting shell
From lines across their hands
A song as new as new moon
As old as all the sands
Shrank to stagnant from Atlantic wild
Lost that child 'til mermaid smiled
Summoned by drum-rolling surf
As laughing fish compel
The young boy woken in me
By clanging diving bell
Breakers pillow-fight the shore
She wriggles free in the tide
I'm locked in adult land
Back in the mirror, she slides
Waving with comb in hand
I was lucky to remain beguiled
Grown to child since mermaid smiled
